Keep in mind there was some contention. Either someone felt the close votes were misguided and voted to reopen, or someone attempted to improve the question and make it passable. If the post is edited after it was closed, it might cause the review to show the edits that took place, in order to make it clearer what was improved. Be sure to review the whole question itself, not just the edit (see the third tip below).

• Do you see why someone voted to reopen the question? Understanding the reason can make you feel surer you considered all angles and are not "missing something." The reopen voter may have left a comment indicating why they voted.
• Has the question's content changed in an effort to improve it since then?

If "yes" to the second, but you still feel the question should remain closed, please consider leaving a comment explaining why the changes were insufficient. In many cases, the author or an editor sincerely evaluated the content and tried to improve it to the best of their ability, and seeing the question left closed in review will likely not help them learn our standards or how to improve the question. While the system will show the reason you and/or other reviewers selected for leaving closed, it's often useful to give additional details in a comment (i.e., why the edits failed to completely address the original close reason or why another close reason applies to the edited version).

• Do check the close reason to understand why the question was closed in the first place.

  When one's question is closed, the author gets a message to edit their post to make it fit within site guidelines, or to clarify why it's not a duplicate of the target question, so this may have occurred.

• Do read the comments.

  Often the reason why the post was closed or is getting a reopen vote is listed in the comments, and that can help you understand what the community is trying to do with the question, and help you make a more informed decision.

• Don't just review the edit, if an edit is shown.

  If the post is edited after being closed, the system might show you just the edits that took place after closure, rather than the whole post itself. Sometimes these edits might just be minor, not affecting the acceptability of the question but simply making grammar or formatting fixes. Don't just review them as Leave closed just because the edit is minor; it might be possible that the closure wasn't warranted in the first place, or that the post can be edited to be reopenable. Be sure to evaluate the question itself, not just the edit, before selecting that the original close reason was not resolved.

• Don't vote to reopen items that should be closed, but were closed with the wrong close reason (unless it should instead be closed as a duplicate).

  If the item should have been closed, leave it closed, regardless of what the actual close reason says. Same goes if later edits address the given close reason, but a different one also applies or begins to apply. Again, when reviewing to leave closed, there is an option to specify which other close reason applies (if the given one doesn't still apply). See also the above paragraph on leaving comments in case you still feel the question should be closed.

  Note, however, that if the duplicate close reason applies and none of the others do, and the question is currently closed for one of the other reasons, do vote to reopen the question (and then later re-close it as a duplicate), because we would rather future visitors be routed to the correct answer than be stuck. While the dialog for reasons for leaving closed does have an option that the question is a duplicate, it doesn't have any option to indicate a duplicate target and so the notice will not serve visitors to the question with a clear direction to the answer.

  If the question is closed as a duplicate but is instead a duplicate of a different question from the one specified, review as Leave closed and flag for a moderator or ping a gold-badge user to have the duplicate target changed. In this case, do use the duplicate option in the reason dialog.

Keep in mind there was some contention. Either someone felt the closure was incorrect or misguided and voted to reopen, or someone attempted to improve the question and make it passable. If the post is edited after it was closed, it might cause the review to show the edits that took place, in order to make it clearer what was improved. Be sure to review the whole question itself, not just the edit (see the third tip below).

• If someone voted to reopen the question, do you understand why they voted? Understanding the reason can make you feel surer you considered all angles and are not "missing something." The reopen voter may have left a comment indicating why they voted.
• If someone edited the question and checked the box to add to review, has the question's content changed in an effort to improve it since when it was closed?

If "yes" to either, but you still feel the question should remain closed, please consider leaving a comment explaining why the changes were insufficient. In many cases, the author or an editor sincerely evaluated the content and either believed that the question should not have been closed or tried to improve it to the best of their ability, and seeing the question left closed in review will likely not help them learn our standards or how to improve the question. While the system will show the reason you and/or other reviewers selected for leaving closed, it's often useful to give additional details in a comment (i.e., why the edits failed to completely address the original close reason or why the same or another close reason applies to the question).
